07 TXT 36v iTS with reverse only
I have a 2007 txt 36 volt 5 blade curtis controler. Its cart, new to me project.
New batteries and cables, new hd f/r switch. Had reverse only, thought it was a f/r switch. Swapped out but still no forward. Reverse works fine.....linkage looks to be fine and making a connection at the switch. When throttle is applied in forward i do hear the solenoid click. Where do i look? Can is be the speed controler? Can it be one of the wires that goes to the motor? All connections are clean and tight. Thanks in advance Roger |

Re: 07 TXT 36v iTS with reverse only
Correction to my statement its a three blade controller ....
So checking voltage i have no voltage at 12 and 3 o clock on the fr switch when the lever in forward....nor at the orange plug connection. When in reverse i have power at orange and 12, 3, 6, and 9. Need to get on jackstands to test under throttle. Any suggestions on the order to troubleshoot or idea where to look/start Thanks |

Re: 07 TXT 36v iTS with reverse only
Make certain that the solenoid is clicking (closed) in both F&R. If no this could be a micro switch problem

Re: 07 TXT 36v iTS with reverse only
Yes solinoid clicks when either forward or reverse selected and accelerator is pushed. Goes revese well but nothing in forward, just click
Its a brand new HD FR switch. Had no forward before swap. |

Re: 07 TXT 36v iTS with reverse only
In a series cart the controller operates the same in forward and reverse so you can rule out the controller. The same can be said for the throttle and the motor. The problem must be in the F&R or the F&R cables. Try swapping the 2 cables on the F&R at the 3 & 9 o'clock positions... what does that do to the cart?

Re: 07 TXT 36v iTS with reverse only
Thanks Scotty, thats what i was hoping to confirm about the motor and SC are good.. buzzer does come on in reverse too forgot to add that.
All wires are new except the 4 that go to the back motor & short solionoid wire. Replaced with 4 gauge. Can one of the four to the back be bad/broken? I did read the 3 and 9 swap but my 9 cable was a hair short on reaching the 3 pole. Once i put up on jack stands tomorrow i can prob get slack to do 3 and 9 swap. If that works what does it tell me? Thanks |

Re: 07 TXT 36v iTS with reverse only
So ther is a micro switch in the pedal box right? But i can rule that out since it works in reverse?

Re: 07 TXT 36v iTS with reverse only
Perfect thanks for clarifying.
So swapped the wires at 3 and 9, have reverse but in forward selection like the test should, but still no forward. A total newbie to carts where do i go from here? Does the solonoid works the same in both directions so i can rule that out ad well? |
